May 2017 — Once part of the historic rail convergence near Westminster Junction in St. Paul, this corridor reflects the city’s long-standing role as a freight and passenger gateway for the Upper Midwest. The junction has served multiple carriers over the decades, supporting connections to Chicago, Minneapolis, and broader national rail networks. The single-track line in the foreground sits alongside a broader multi-track right-of-way, characteristic of the region’s use for heavy rail traffic, including grain, intermodal, and freight hauling. Dense summer vegetation lines the route, showing how rail corridors often double as preserved green space, even amid active infrastructure. The distant bridge marks the approach toward downtown St. Paul, where several major rail yards historically managed traffic between river, road, and rail transport.

May 2017 — Built in the late 19th century, this rail tunnel sits near Bridal Veil Creek between Minneapolis and St. Paul and was constructed to accommodate expanding freight and passenger service for the Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail systems. Its heavy stone block walls and reinforced concrete beams reflect early railroad engineering adapted to the region’s steep ravines and waterways. The tunnel once served as a vital connector between Minneapolis rail yards and the Midway district, supporting grain, timber, and industrial shipments. Though still active today, it carries far lighter traffic and has become known for its weathered masonry, natural overgrowth, and layers of graffiti, showing where urban infrastructure meets forgotten industrial corridors.

July 2017 — These towering concrete presidential busts sit hidden in the woods near Lead, South Dakota—remnants of a once-ambitious roadside attraction called Presidents Park. Conceived by Texas artist David Adickes and opened in 2003, the park showcased forty-three sculptures, each roughly 20 feet tall, depicting every U.S. president from Washington through George W. Bush. The attraction struggled to draw visitors and closed by 2010, leaving the massive heads stranded in the forest. Over time, nature reclaimed the site, with fallen branches, moss, and pine needles collecting around the statues. Today, the figures stand as haunting relics of early-2000s Americana tourism and the impermanence of grand civic art in private hands.

July 2017 — A long-forgotten mine entrance lies hidden in the forested slopes near the old gold mining town of Lead, South Dakota. The timber-framed portal, now partially collapsed and overtaken by vegetation, dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century—part of the Black Hills’ extensive network of small exploratory mines that sprang up after the 1876 gold rush. Streams like this one often run through or near these adits, carrying trace minerals that once drew prospectors to the region. Though many of these shafts were short-lived, they remain scattered reminders of South Dakota’s mining heritage and the rugged ambition that once fueled settlement in the Black Hills.

July 2017 — Evening settles over the North Shore as the moon rises above Lake Superior, seen from Silver Creek Township, Minnesota. The calm waters reflect the fading light of dusk along a rugged basalt shoreline shaped by ancient lava flows nearly a billion years old. This stretch of coast, north of Two Harbors, remains one of the most geologically significant and least developed sections of Minnesota’s Superior shoreline—where forests of spruce and pine meet one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes under an endless sky.

July 2017 — The rocky shoreline at Taconite Harbor, Minnesota, once served as a vital shipping point for the state’s iron mining industry. Built in the early 1950s by the Erie Mining Company, the harbor was designed to handle massive shipments of processed taconite pellets from the Mesabi Iron Range, transported by a private 74-mile rail line to the Lake Superior coast. The harbor’s docks, loading equipment, and nearby company housing formed a self-contained industrial community that thrived for decades. The surrounding area was developed during a period of postwar expansion when Minnesota’s natural resources fueled North American manufacturing. Taconite Harbor operated until the early 2000s, when global shifts in steel production led to its closure. What remains today—crumbling concrete piers, rusted transmission towers, and wind-swept rock formations—speaks to both the resilience of the landscape and the region’s deep connection to the rise and fall of heavy industry along the North Shore.

September 2017 — The Cedar Lake Trail passes through the industrial district of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, illuminated here by the community’s water tower and nearby grain elevators. This segment of the trail follows a former railroad right-of-way once used by the Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway, which connected local industries to the region’s freight network. The corridor’s transformation into one of the country’s first bicycle “freeways” in the 1990s marked a major milestone in urban redevelopment and sustainable transportation planning. Once lined with lumberyards, steel fabricators, and mills, the area surrounding the trail reflects the industrial origins of St. Louis Park—a community that grew rapidly in the early 20th century due to its proximity to both Minneapolis and key rail junctions. The trail today bridges that history, offering cyclists and commuters a route through a landscape where freight trains, utility towers, and legacy industry remain active reminders of the city’s manufacturing past.

The low-profile, bunker-like structure was designed to blend into the grassy landscape, housing offices, locker rooms, weight facilities, and the iconic indoor practice field under its distinctive inflated roof. The illuminated building and outdoor practice fields seen here reflect its primary role as a working athletic campus rather than a public venue. Even after operations shifted, the site remained symbolically tied to the team’s formative decades, including the Herschel Walker trade years, early indoor training innovations, and the development of multiple Pro Bowl players.

When viewed from the northeast or southeast(such as this photo), the building gives the appearance of the letter H for Hennepin. The towers are accessible from each other via catwalks on each floor. Glass walls were added after multiple suicides.
